The sudden death is announced at
Exeter of William Snell, who for
many years kept the Balkwell House
in London. Tho cause of his death
was inflammation of the bowels.
A few days ago a young son of
Constable Creech, of Exeter, met with
what very nearly proved a fatal aoci
dont. It appears a farmer was pas.;•
ing along tho street with a land roller
attached behind his wagon, whou tho
little follow made an attempt to get
on the roller for a ride. In so doing
he was drawn under the frame and
very severely crushed. All his clothes
and considerable flesh were torn off.
A coven days' wonder, in the form
of a bouncing baby, has disturbed
the usual equanimity of tiro residents
of this neighborhood, and sot tho gos-
sips' tongues a -wagging. Tho "little
stranger" was left in a basket at the
door of Peter Moran's residence on
the Howiok boundary, about a mile
and a half from bore, on Tuesday
night, about eleven o'clock, the party
who left the infant rousing the iu-
mates by knocking, previous t0 taking
his (or her) departure. 11Ir, Leppard,
Mr. Moran's father-in-law, upon
going to the door, and discovering
the object of this nocturnal visit, gave
chase, but the fast retreatiug figure
quickly disappeared iu (the darkness.
Tne child, which proved to be a
healthy and fine l,iokiug female in-
fant, about throe weeks old, was tak-
en in and cared for. In the basket
were found a bundle of infant's
clothes, a nurse bottle, and a $10
bill, from which it may bo inferred
that the party who left the child
there was at all events not heartless.
Tho place chosen for depositing the
little ono was also selected with a
view to its future comfort, for, as a
neighbor puts it, tho little thing "bas
lit on its foot" in falling into the
hands of Mr. and Mrs. Moran and
tho old folks, who have taken very
kindly to the "little stranger."

joined her husband at Comber last

of insanity. Friday she was brought

ditiou will be looked into by a physic-

A remarkable cyclone storm passed
through the western outskirts of Wiu-
nlpog Thursday, doing a considerable
amount nl' damage. It crossed the
railway track west of the workshops,
going north-east, and was accompani•
od by the usual funnel -shaped cloud,
Several small houses were demolished,
and others were unroofed. Charles
Baynham was badly hurt by a flying
board, and had to bo carried to the
Hospital. Mrs, Huffman and two
childreu were in a shanty, which was
entirely destroyed, but they escaped
with severe cuts about the head.
Some half-dozen others were injured,
but not severely. The roof of St.
John's College was damaged, and the
gable torn out of Duncan McArthur's
house close by the river bank. Sim-
ultaneously with this a second cyclone
passed on the opposite side of the
city, but no damage is yet reported
from it. Tho track of each etorm
